Skenderija is another one of the neighbourhoods in Sarajevo, and it is likely that you will visit it if you amble around the old city. It lies just across the Miljacka from the Austro-Hungarian extension of the old city, and is a pretty and leisurely part of town. Despite the number of Ottoman mosques in the district, the bulk of the architecture here appears to be from the Austro-Hungarian time period, something that should be pretty obvious given the names of streets like Austrijski trg. The beautiful buildings house numerous consulates and embassies, such as the German, Turkish and Iranian ones, so you will have to be smart about taking pictures here – make sure no one is watching! There are also some quite interesting designs, inspired by the various pseudo-Moorish trends that were popular in Austria around the turn of the century. Skenderija is also a bit of a Bohemian area of Sarajevo, and part of this is because of the large presence of university buildings here, among which is the Fine Arts Faculty right on the river. This means that, unlike the right bank of the Miljacka, this part of the left bank has river-side cafes packed with young people and students, and that the atmosphere here is decidedly much more liberal than in Bascarsija (low cut tops are more popular than the hijab set-up). This is a very fun and lively place, and if you're feeling like you need a bit of a break from the "Oriental" atmosphere of Bascarsija (which can, admitted, sometimes feel stale and forced), head over the Mediterranean cafés of Skenderija.

Džamija Hadži Mehmed Baliæ
Džamija Hadži Mehmed Baliæ (I think that that's the name of this mosque) is a quaint 16th century mosque on the border between Kovaèi and Vratnik. It must be quite old, but it has been maintain (or possibly restored) to much better shape since the war. It is a partially wooden mosque that, while having many Ottoman characteristics, also reminded me a bit of wooden Orthodox churches, like the kind in Russia. Nevertheless, this small mosque has a porch and a short but noticeable minaret. It is located on a side street on the climb up to the city's fortifications, and it is not open to the public for visits. Nevetheless, it makes for a great set of pictures, something that you are unlikely to see anywhere other than in this wooden, mountainous part of the Balkans.

Mejtaš and Bjelave
Mejtaš and Bjelave are two neighbourhoods of Sarajevo that lie to the north of the Bascarsija district. They are not particularly remarkable for their architecture, although you will find some interesting examples of Austro-Hungarian buildings here, particularly if what interests you is the sort of "colonial rot" look that you usually only find in places like the Caribbean. This part of the city, of course, has its own share of Ottoman mosques, some of which are actually quite interesting, especially those with their own sebilji or fountains out front. The streets here are narrow and steep in places, but that just means that this is another part of the city in which you will be able to get great views of the mountains and the Bascarsija from above. Also, given that it is outside of the core and away from the usual tourist haunts, more than a few structures here have yet to be repaired since the war. If you are interested in seeing some of the destruction (I know, it is a bit of a morbid suggestion, but one, nevertheless, that I am sure will appeal to more than a few people from Western countries) you can wander around here and gawk at the bombed out houses.

Vratnik Cemetery
I often think of Sarajevo as a city of cemeteries, if only because it seems that so many open areas in the urban core have been taken up as plots for those who died during the Civil War in 1992-95. Many thousands of people lost their lives during the siege, whether as combatants or as civilians, and both hygiene concerns and Muslim custom would require them to be buried quickly and close by (since it likely would have taken too long to move the bodies outside of the city's core). The Vratnik cemetery is a small one compared to Koševo groblje, but it is interesting because of the way in which it is built on a slope. It has many markers indicating that the person buried there is a Šahid or martyr (from the Arabic term), so in a way this can be seen as a soldiers' cemetery. There is also a modest monument for the martyrs of the Young Muslims, a nationalist organization that began as an opposition group to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and also a partisan group during WWII.

The Zeljeznica is a small river that comes off of the Bosna, the longest river in Bosnia. Unlike the Miljacka, it doesn't split the city of Sarajevo in two, but it does snake its way through part of Ilidža, in the western end of the city. There are some pretty little houses and some not so pretty apartment blocks that line the sides of the stream past the railway tracks (that is, you have to go under them when you come from the main tram terminal in Ilidza), but for the most part this area seems quite sparsely inhabited. I don't know if the various construction sites are the products of reconstruction or just natural growths, but it doesn't seems like the natural beauty of the stream and its surroundings will be damaged anytime soon. You can evidently catch fish in the river – I saw someone fishing when I was walking – but I don't know what you can expect to catch, of if it is legal/accepted by the locals.

Dzamija Kralja Fahda
For those who doubt the true sway of the Saudi government and Saudi donors in the Balkans, I suggest a short trip along tramline 3 to Ilidža. Along the way you will pass the King Fahd Mosque – Džamija Kralja Fahda – a huge structure that is located on the edge of Novi Sarajevo, amongst the apartment blocks and rather ugly Communist-era structures. This mosque doesn't really correspond to the architecturally pleasing Ottoman structures, which appear to be simple but are even more appealing once you truly investigate the beauty of their detail. I didn't stop at the Mosque – I just took snap shots from the tramway – so I don't know what it's like inside or whether you can visit it if you are not a worshipper. Nevertheless, it is a huge structure that is hard to miss, a sign of who the new greatest Muslim influence in the Balkans is.

Perhaps I made the wrong choice, but I decided, on the last afternoon I had in Sarajevo, to take a trip out to Ilidza, which is the very end of line 3 on the street car. I got this idea because of a woman I met on the train into Sarajevo, who suggested that one of the prettiest natural beauty spots was where the Zeljeznica River met the Miljecka, so naturally I thought that the best way to get there would be to simply go out to Ilidza and search around with my map. Needless to say, it would have taken a lot of walking to get there, and I ended up not making it to the confluence of the rivers. Instead, I got to see a less glamorous, but still pretty and interesting, part of the city. Ilidza is a sort of residential and industrial area that is actually much cleaner and nicer than suburbs in a lot of other Eastern European capitals. In fact, as I later learned, this is a part of the city that is renowned for its tranquility and beautiful surroundings, not least because the absence of many tall buildings allows for views of the mountains and forests that surround the area. The area has long been inhabited, in part because of the Vrelo Bosne spring, which I didn't get to visit, and which was visited by Saints Cyril and Methodius on their trip through Bosnia.

Bistrik is one of the historic neighbourhoods of the Old City of Sarajevo, separated from the Bascarsija district by the Miljecka. It was, allegedly, once the Catholic section of the city, and this is, indeed, where the Franciscan church is found. However, this is also where you will find the Emperor's Mosque (Careva Dzamija), so it cannot have been a staunchly Catholic area. Nevertheless, Bistrik doesn't challenge Bascarsija and the connected Austro-Hungarian parts of the Old City in terms of the variety historic monuments to attact visitors. It appears to have benefitted considerably less from the reconstruction monies donated by both Western and Arab donors, and many of the streets are in poor shape. Still, it is a fun place to visit, if only because you really get to see how average people in Sarajevo live and, best of all, there are some great views into the Old City if you feel up to the hike. The people of Bistrik (Bistrikci?) are fairly friendly too – although a postman felt the need to tell me that I was sweating like a Serbian pig (I think it was a joke).

Monument to Sarajevo Police
Here in the shade of a large tree, off to the side of the Trg oslobodjenja, there is a small but interesting monument dedicated to the police force of the capital of the newly independent Bosnia and Hercegovina. It is interesting because of the shape – a fleur de lis, which is effectively the traditional symbol of the Bosanjacki population (sort of like the cross with the fours S of the Serbs). It is interesting because this was evidently erected by the city's Muslim population, but is in memory of the police force that defended the city and kept order during the siege, and presumably not 100% of the police were of pure Muslim origin.

Sarajevo's roses
One of the problems with trying to rebuild a city in which hundreds of thousands of people live is that you often have to resort to quick, stop-gap measures to make the city liveable before you can complete comprehensive restorations. One such stop-gap measure was the use of red rubber to fill the scars left by mortars on the streets of Sarajevo. These red splotches, euphemistically known as "roses" are much fewer now in the centre, but there are a couple that you can see along Marsala Tito. It seems odd to be taking a picture of the street, especially in a city where most people seem to want to forget the war and get on with their lives, but it is still interesting for those of us who live in places that have been lucky enough not to witness the horrors of war and butchery for several decades or even centuries.

Sarajevo hosted the 1984 Olympics and left over of from that is the Skenderija now a rather run down and sorry looking building which is used as a shopping centre. It is however an important part of the history of this city's happier history.
Tunnel Museum
During the siege this tunnel was built to provide a means of getting in and out of the city food, water, people, and weapons were all moved though this tunnel it was a life line for the city there was no other way of getting in or out of the city. It now a museum run by the owners of the house you watch a video, walk though a small section of the tunnel and listen to a talk about the experiences of those who lived though the siege. It gives a very personal perspective on the siege and the war it is incredibly moving and informative. And I would say a must for all visitors to the city.
There are a number of ways to get to the museum. You can take one of the tours from the city centre they are about 12 euros or you can catch a tram to ilidza and then a taxi, you may be able to negotiate a fare with a taxi driver to take you there and back. If you are driving be warned it is really hard to find.
Literally, AROUND the city-Trebevic hill&road
With a car, bike possible as well, in the case you're staying in Sarajevo more than just a few days, make a 'round trip' via Trebevic hill (you can see it in the south of the city itself). The way goes up&left at Vraca (looking from the center direction). More precisely, there is a crossroad with trafic lights on the 2nd trolly bus from Skenderija (if we cont the named one as zero). When u turn here u go upwards untill you come to no more straight, but left or right (less then 5min with a car) and here is where u go left. Then just follow the asfalt and the main road. It will slowly trake you around sarajevo and then deeper to Trebevic. In the end of this tour you will find yourself either going to Jahorina mountain ski center (right and less than 10minutes by car from that marking on the road) or left-towards Pale where you have the road markings back to Sarajevo.
Your drive this way will be 40-60km/h, and to this last crossroad will take about 1h 15 min. Then it is some 30min to Sarajevo.
Views over the city and then the nature are wonderful as you will be able to see in the photos added to this off the beaten path one;)

Welcome to Underearners Anonymous
Announcement: The 2016 UA World Service Conference(WSC)will be held Thursday October 27th through Sunday October 30th at Stony Point Center in the Lower Hudson River Valley of NY. The 2016 WSC brings all elements of UA together to further the common welfare of the UA as a whole. Representatives from UA groups (GSRs), Intergroups and the GSB and its committees, along with interested members at large gather together as the "collective voice and conscience" of our Fellowship. Schedule and Registration details to come. Thank you
About UA
UA is a Twelve Step Fellowship of men and women who have come together to help themselves and one another recover from underearning.
Underearning is many things, not all of which are about money. While the most visible consequence is the inability to provide for one's needs, including future needs, underearning is also about the inability to fully acknowledge and express our capabilities and competencies. It is about underachieving, or under-being, no matter how much money we make.
The Tools of UA include, and reinforce, the tried and true tools of recovery provided by the Twelve Steps. Members of UA also utilize additional Tools – both individually and with partners – to support taking action that will create lives that are full, prosperous, and grounded in serenity.
If you're visiting our website for the first time, we suggest you explore the Literature page, beginning with the piece entitled, About UA. All materials are available for download and printing.

Bill Belichick Will Deeply Miss Logan Mankins
BY: John Mamola
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a need and did everything they could to fill it by shocking the NFL world on Tuesday by trading Tim Wright and a draft pick for six-time pro bowl guard Logan Mankins of the New England Patriots. While the news came of celebration in Tampa Bay, New England was a complete different story.
Especially the mood shown and words shared by head coach Bill Belichick in a statement released on the Patriots website.
"Logan Mankins is everything we would ever want in a football player. It is hard to imagine a better player at his position, a tougher competitor or a person to represent our program. He is one of the all-time great Patriots and the best guard I ever coached. Logan brought a quiet but unmistakable presence and leadership that will be impossible to duplicate. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when difficult decisions have to be made - and this is one of the most difficult we will ever make - but like every other decision it was made for what we feel is in the best interests of the team."
Isn't it sad when the hoodie gets all teary eyed?
The players shared the same sentiments following Tuesday practice in New England.

Medion Akoya X PC pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
Desktop PCs are dull right? Sure, they serve a purpose but with all the svelte looking notebooks, netbooks, ultrabooks, incredibooks* and tablets on the market – the plain old desktop, although useful and capable of much more power than its portable pals, often goes unnoticed.
And we're kind of bored of the extreme gaming desktops with their neon lights, sharp edges and futuristic feel – they always look like props from a 1990s' Ridley Scott movie.
But over in Berlin at IFA a desktop did catch our eye, one being hid behind closed doors by German manufacturer Medion - the Akoya X.
It just looks awesome. Simplistic, but awesome - although we think Medion may have missed a trick by not calling it the OXO.
Details on the funky looking desktop were scant, this was a prototype model (that Pocket-lint even managed to break by twisting one of the axis to see if it was hiding any ports - it wasn't) but we were assured that the machine will be hitting the UK this year.
What we did see was a lovely looking soft-key keyboard with a brushed aluminium finish, some solid looking speakers (hinting that this PC may be targeted at your living room) and USB 3.0 connectivity.
Medion, as you may be aware, has recently been gobbled up by Lenovo. We're told by our man at Medion that this doesn't mean an end to the brand though, with Medion continuing in its own right with a continued focus on consumer products.
We'll keep you updated on release details for the Akoya X, so be sure to check back for updates.

Tiger Woods of old hasn't returned. But the Tiger Woods of new is pretty damn good.
Is he back? With every stroke of greatness that Tiger Woods takes, that's the question resting on the tips of the tongues that love the sport of golf. Is the greatest player we ever saw…back? Will the sport live to see another resurgence of its popularity ride the shoulders of a superstar and his iconic fist pump?
The short answer is no. The sensation that was Tiger Woods at the turn of the century isn't a phenomenon that can be turned on with a switch –that was once-in-a-lifetime domination that he put on display. To ask him to ever be back to that status would be like asking Michael Jordan to win six more championships after he joined the Washington Wizards. Even those that earn the distinction of "best ever" can't be asked to do it…forever.
Golf was better and more exciting when it was Tiger versus the field. But those days are gone. Is he back? No; the Tiger Woods that dazzled both sides of the millennium will never again win four majors in a row, or cause young golfers to shoot in the eighties with nothing but his stare and a giant gallery. Those days are, as I said, gone. But perhaps we should be asking a different question. Even if Tiger will never again be the undisputed champion of golf, is it too much to say that he is, once again, the best in the world?
I think it's time to answer that question with a resounding yes.
To be fair, it's a distinction that is no longer undisputable. Fifteen different golfers have won the last fifteen majors. A 54-hole lead next to the name Woods no longer sends other contenders screaming to their mommies. And according to the World Golf Rankings (which I think hold about as much weight as one of the Olsen twins), Tiger Woods isn't first…he's fourth, looking up at Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, and Lee Westwood (and their one combined major).
But rankings aside, I think a case can easily be made that Tiger Woods is the best golfer on the planet right now. It doesn't take advanced statistics to see that he's having the best 2012 on the PGA Tour. Despite only playing 11 events, Tiger leads the tour in wins with three. No player in 2011 won three events. Woods also leads the PGA in Scoring Average (69.04), money accumulated ($4.2 million), and in the standings that actually do decide something: the Fed Ex Cup Standings.
While everyone rushed to anoint Rory McIlroy as the second coming of Tiger, he quietly missed several consecutive cuts and floundered in the U.S. Open. He's good, maybe great, but that conversation came too soon. If anyone deserves to be considered the best golfer right now, and isn't Woods, it may be Jason Dufner. He closely trails Woods in wins, money earned, and Fed Ex points (though that's also after playing in four more events). Dufner also leads the PGA in Top 10 finishes this year with six. Alas, it isn't his name that the ranking gurus have decided to elevate above the immortal Tiger Woods.
Instead, they've designated the trio of Donald, McIlroy, and Westwood to be better than Woods right now. That's funny considering that this trio has a combined two 2012 wins to Tiger's three. While Woods stands atop the Fed Ex rankings, McIlroy is 7th, Donald is 14th, and Westwood is 37th. And even though Woods experienced a slump (and the oft forgotten fact that he was recovering from a reconstructed knee) in recent years, it isn't like these three have a track record of being better in the biggest moments. Let's not forget that Tiger Woods has won 14 majors. Donald, McIlroy, and Westwood have one…combined.
So yes, it's almost impossible that we will ever recapture the Tiger Woods that swept through the golfing world, took it by the balls, and delivered the most dominating athletic performances of our generation. But the signs of the new Tiger Woods should still scare his competitors. His driving accuracy is better than it's ever been. He's winning tournaments. And he's continuing to improve. While putts largely derailed his chances at the Masters and US Open, he finished the third round of the Congressional with a perfect 100% on putts within ten feet. The pieces are falling into place. It's only a matter of time before he hoists another major trophy.
The difference between Tiger then and Tiger now is parity. Now, you have to give names like Kuchar, Dufner, Watson, McIlroy, Westwood, Furyk, and Mahan honorable mention. In the early 2000s, there was no honorable mention. Tiger reigned supreme. So no, the Tiger of old isn't back. But it seems that there is a good chance that he is still the best.
Beneath the noise, controversy, constant media scrutiny, and the pervading question of "Is he back?", the golfing world is missing the opportunity to see the ongoing narrative of where Tiger Woods has been. This is a living legend walking the course. With each win, and each hint at a resurgence, Woods is walking a path on the links that few have footed before him. And he's doing it at a pace that shatters the records of old. Forget whether or not Woods is the best now. He is the best ever. Let's enjoy that.
With Woods' win at Congressional on Sunday, he secured his 74th win on the PGA Tour, passing Jack Nicklaus and only trailing Sam Snead, who won 82. Those are legendary names and legendary numbers. But here's the kicker: Tiger Woods is only 36. When Nicklaus won his last tournament, he was 46. When Snead won his last tournament, he was 53. Woods is in amazing athletic shape. If he can last until 46, he'll have ten years to get nine more victories and pass Snead. If he can last until 53, he'll have seventeen years. Seventeen years, nine victories –something tells me that the long-standing record of Sam Snead will not only be broken; it will be left in the dust.
But that's not the record that Woods dreams of. As a child, a poster of Jack Nicklaus hung on his wall—a man he literally looked up to. And he still does. It is no secret that Woods covets the all-time majors record, which belongs to Nicklaus, who won 18. Woods sits at 14, and with his recent slump, those who used to think his securing of this record was inevitable suddenly think it's nearly impossible.
Let's put that notion in perspective. Nicklaus won his eighteenth major at the age of 46, ten years older than Woods is now. How many of those majors came after Nicklaus' 36th birthday? The answer is the magic number. He won four majors after 36 with his wins at the 1978 British Open, the 1980 U.S. Open and PGA Championship, and the 1986 Masters.
It just so happens that Woods is exactly four behind him. Even if Woods only has those ten years left in the tank after 2012, that's 40 major championships of which he would only have to win four to tie Nicklaus' record. When you consider that Woods won four in a row from 2000 to 2001 and four out of five from 2005 to 2006, four out of forty seems doable –even for a Woods past the best prime we've ever seen.
Many say it won't happen after the controversy and the subsequent slump. They say he can't get it back. But if Nicklaus would have faced the same constant scrutiny and 24-hour sports media, the same doubts likely would have fallen on his shoulders. He didn't win a major from 1968 to 1970, and in 1979, failed to win any tournaments whatsoever. There were six years between his seventeenth and eighteenth major championships. And yet, he always bounced back. In golf, there's always another round to play.
It's tough for us to admit that legends of sport can be surpassed by someone playing before our very eyes. But with Tiger Woods, it's time to admit it's happening. He's the best any of us have ever seen. Let's not miss the ongoing history because we've succumb to nostalgia. Not only does Woods seem poised to shatter the marks of legends, but he has done so beneath a pressure that none of them ever knew. Nicklaus never had every swing, on and off the course, followed by cameras and screaming fans. Snead never saw his face on a tabloid. Hogan never had to focus on a shot while thousands of people tried to sneak a cell-phone pick. No legend has ever had to apologize for anything beyond the course –until now.
Woods' legacy, of course, will always be tainted by the controversy that found him beyond the golf course. Like many athletes in this new hyper-scrutinized society, he lost the battle to be something more than human. He did things that few sane people would ever condone. And perhaps, to an extent, that did more than hurt his family and friends. Perhaps it tainted the game of golf.
But Woods' legacy must also include the positive impact he's had on the game of golf. The sport suffered, and continues to suffer, from elitism. It's an upper-class, white, country-club sport. But slowly, that might be changing, and much of that is because Tiger Woods brought a whole new audience and hope to the sport of golf. Slowly but surely, the faces beneath the hats are starting to change. Woods has been an ambassador for African and Asian Americans alike, and his fresh style brought youth and lower-income fans to the game. And that transition is finally starting to break through.
In 2011, Joseph Bramlett made the PGA Tour. He was the first African-American to do so since Tiger Woods. He had watched Woods as a youngster, and even followed his path to Stanford. It's hopefully a small step forward that will soon be met by a stampede. According to the PGA, 13.7% of Asian-Americans and 7% of African-Americans play golf. A study in 2007 claimed that 12% of PGA Tour Event attendants were black. It's hard to find studies of old (because the PGA wasn't broadcasting their lack of diversity), but something tells me those numbers were much lower before Tiger hit the scene.
Just look at the visual evidence. When Nicklaus sunk his shot in 1986, you'd be hard-pressed to find an arm raised to the sky that isn't white.
Even in 1997, when Woods showed the world his first fist pump victory, the gallery still appears to be suffering from a lack of color.
But in 2008, you can see that the scene is starting to change. It's something. It's a start. It's a promise for a better future.
And that's the beauty of Tiger Woods' living legacy. Yes, he's made mistakes. And no, he's not back. But his impact that continues to walk the fairways before our very eyes encompasses golf's past, present, and future. He's the best now, he's the best that ever was, and the best that ever will be. Is he back? No.
Tiger Woods never left.

We have stayed here quite a few times, and I keep coming back. As the title says, it's good value for your money. The staff are very friendly, and I love the pool area. It's designed nicely, and the lighting at night is beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and clean and it's good to have a fridge and kettle. Free pickup at the airport is included. The breakfast had more choices last year, but it's still ok. They now have an a la carte menu choice and I do appreciate eggs cooked to order. I saw a few mosquitoes, but you'd think that's to be expected in the tropics ( hello Dorothy, this isn't Kansas). I think some people review a $30 or $40 room as if they had been paying over $100 for the room. This place is great value, especially for transit.

"We laid off 27 [teachers] as a precautionary measure," Koczela told me. "They were crying. Some of these people are my friends."On June 29 at 12:01 a.m., Koczela could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The budget repair bill—delayed for months by protests, runaway state senators, and a legal challenge that made its way to the state's supreme court—was law. The 27 teachers on the chopping block were spared.
"We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for 8 years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all."

Participatory design in community computing contexts: tales from the field
Participatory design
Participatory design (known before as 'Cooperative Design') is an approach to design attempting to actively involve all stakeholders (e.g. employees, partners, customers, citizens, end users) in the design process in order to help ensure the product designed meets their needs and is usable. The term is used in a variety of fields e.g.
more from Wikipedia
Collaboration is working together to achieve a goal. It is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together to realize shared goals, (this is more than the intersection of common goals seen in co-operative ventures, but a deep, collective, determination to reach an identical objective) ¿ for example, an intriguing endeavor that is creative in nature¿by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus.
more from Wikipedia
Business process
A business process or business method is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product (serve a particular goal) for a particular customer or customers. It often can be visualized with a flowchart as a sequence of activities with interleaving decision points or with a Process Matrix as a sequence of activities with relevance rules based on the data in the process.

Civic engagement
Civic engagement or civic participation has been defined as "Individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern."

Is it possible to test whether two objects are equal using the data they contain inside and not comparing their pointers with ==?
Well actually of course there is but...
Is there a way to do it without actually looping through the object, instead maybe something that came with JS?
(something like a .equals() method from other programming languages.)
Thanks for any feedback!

The father of modern advertising,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Man Who Sold America: The Amazing (but True!) Story of Albert D. Lasker and the Creation of the Advertising Century (Hardcover)
Albert Lasker is frequently called the father of modern advertising. Heading up the advertising agency of Lord and Thomas, Lasker relied on the power of ideas. He defined advertising as "salesmanship in print."
He was at his peak from 1908 to the 1930s. Some of his achievements included sparking a thirtyfold increase in the sales of Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice, inventing the "Sunkist" and "Sun Maid" brands while dramatically increasing the consumption of oranges and raisins, quadrupling the sales of Goodyear tires in four years, increasing the sales of Lucky Strike cigarettes from 25 million a day to a 150 million a day in less than three years and marketing the first sanitary napkin (Kotex) and the first disposable handkerchief (Kleenex).
Lasker pioneered the use of research to test and validate advertising approaches. He was one of the first men to analyze and plan advertising campaigns for clients. He helped define advertising so that it became a force of social good to introduce people to new and better ways of life.
Lasker, who likely was manic depressive, was not a particularly effective manager. He experienced mood swings, battling ups and downs. Although he attracted talented individuals, he deliberately fostered insecurities and anxieties among his top lieutenants. Lord and Taylor dissolved in December 1942.
While Lasker's advertising success is interesting, it unfortunately is only half of the book. The other half of the book was extremely boring to me. From pages 125 through 237, the authors cover Lasker's involvement in the Leo Frank murder case, his stint as part owner of the Chicago Cubs, his involvement in political campaigns, including the presidential campaign of Warren G. Harding and his position as chairman of the United States Shipping Board. I found very little of it interesting. I think most readers also will be challenged by the authors' rather dry and textbookish writing style.

It was especially helpful because I am also interested in the areas this reviewer was not. But because he took the time to spell out what he didn't like, it helped potential book buyers make an informed decision.

Miley, who won gold and two silvers at the European Short Course Championships prior to the worlds in Turkey, topped the podium in the 400m medley on the first night while Jemma Lowe also added 200m butterfly bronze for Britain.
And, clearly keen to get among the medals herself, Allen was the quickest qualifier into the semi-finals of the 100m medley after touching home in a new personal best of 59.20 seconds, bettering her previous mark by 0.3.
That was 0.13 quicker than Plymouth-based Olympic 100m breaststroke champion Ruta Meilutyte in second and almost two seconds faster than Miley, who just sneaked into the semi-finals after placing 15th overall.
Allen and Miley, who has not raced a 100m medley in over three years, were the only individual British qualifiers on the second morning as Rebecca Turner, Roberto Pavoni and Matthew Johnson all missed out in their respective events.
With world long course silver medallist from 2009 Fran Halsall deciding not to compete in the 100m freestyle before the championships began, Turner was the sole Brit involved in the event and placed 25th in the heats in 54.97.
That was 0.70 shy of the 16th and final qualifier for the semi-finals Larissa Oliveira while, with heats leading straight to a final in the men's 400m medley, Pavoni and Johnson were off the pace despite both recording personal bests.
Pavoni ranked 14th in 4:11.17, nearly seven seconds behind quickest qualifier Seto Daiya, while Johnson, swimming at his first senior international championships, was four places lower in 4:13.75.
However there was joy for Pavoni as part of the British men's 4x200m freestyle relay quartet as he, Ieuan Lloyd, Chris Walker-Hebborn and Robbie Renwick finished third in their heat to advance to the final in seventh overall.
Lloyd lowered his own Welsh record to 1:45.26 on the opening leg as the British team clocked 7:06.50 overall in a heat involving America and Australia with Germany the fastest qualifiers in 6:58.67.

I am trying to run static analysis on a C project to identify dead code i.e functions or code lines that are never ever called. I can build this project with Visual Studio .Net for Windows or using gcc for Linux. I have been trying to find some reasonable tool that can do this for me but so far I have not succeeded. I have read related questions on Stack Overflow i.e this and this and I have tried to use

/home/adnan/my_socket.c:666: warning: will never be executed
but when I look at line 666 in
my_socket.c, it's actually inside another function that is being called from function my_sockNtoH32() and will not be executed for this specific instance but will be executed when called from some other functions.
What I need is to find the code which will never be executed. Can someone plz help with this?
PS: I can't convince management to buy a tool for this task, so please stick to free/open source tools.

Welcome to the Winslow History website. On this site you will find photographs, transcribed documents and short articles about the history of Winslow, Buckinghamshire, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 20th century. Please scroll down for an introduction to the town's history, and use the menu on the left to navigate around the site. There is also a search engine at the foot of the page.
Photograph of the month (July 2016): Fulks & Sons, c.1910
The Angel Inn occupied the premises which are now 2, 2A and 2B High Street. The inn is first mentioned in 1578, and William Lowndes was born there in 1652. Then it was sold and divided into three. The inn closed before 1724. The part on the left in the photo was a draper's shop, and became the Royal Oak c.1810. The part on the right was called London House and was acquired by Matthew Fulks c.1860. Fulks & Sons reunited the three parts in the early 20th century and rebuilt London House. After Bob Fulks died in 1964 they again became three separate shops.
People from Winslow's past #42: Ferdinando Southam (c.1717-1768)
Ferdinando Southam's family came from Croughton on his father's side and Barton Hartshorn on his mother's, and he inherited property in Souldern and Middle Barton from his great-uncle Ferdinando Gough. He got married in 1738 to Sarah Shenton of Wallingford, and moved to Winslow, where he set up in business as an attorney (he was admitted to the Middle Temple in 1737) and eventually became deputy steward of the manor. See transcriptions of some of his legal letters. James Burnham, who replaced him as Winslow's leading lawyer, was originally his clerk.
He seems to have lived at 28 High Street at first, but bought the house which is now 21-23 Market Square, which he turned into a gentleman's residence; it was described as "handsomely fitted up". He also bought a stable in Horn Street and the land known as Peter Lowndes's Close (now part of the Churchyard), which he needed so that he could keep a chaise (a 2-wheeled carriage). He was the only person in Winslow apart from the Lowndes family who owned enough silver plate to pay tax on it.
Unfortunately Ferdinando overreached himself, and he was declared bankrupt in 1761 (now described as "scrivener and chapman", presumably because it wasn't thought suitable for an attorney to be bankrupt). His property was sold to pay his debts; details are recorded in a special manor court and newspaper advertisement. He evidently stayed in Winslow until he died in 1768. His daughter Mary was the ancestor of the Whichello family.
Winslow - an historical introduction
Winslow was an ancient royal manor, situated mid-way between Aylesbury and Buckingham. It was too near to either of these towns to have become a major commercial centre, but it was large enough to attract the agricultural surplus of the neighbouring villages. In 792, King Offa of Mercia gave Winslow, along with the villages of Granborough and Little Horwood, as an endowment for his new abbey at St Albans. An Anglo-Saxon charter, giving the original boundaries of the manor of Winslow, was recently discovered in the Royal Library in Brussels. The hamlet of Shipton was also part of the manor, with its own field system.
The principal road through Winslow ran east to west, along Sheep Street and Horn Street, whose names evoke the smell of livestock sales. The Abbot of St Albans secured a market charter for Winslow in 1235 and carved out a market place from Horn Street and the Churchyard. At the same time, a new High Street was laid out, running north from the Market Square towards Buckingham. Here the shops were built on rectangular plots running back to a rear access road, later to be known as Greyhound Lane. The Abbot of St Albans built a tithe barn in Horn Street, but the present building dates from about 1700. The Abbot also had a grange at Biggin, by the stream which divides Winslow and Granborough. This was where St Albans representatives stayed when they visited Winslow, and it was a substantial farmhouse in the 16th century, but little now remains, except a dried-up moat. When the abbey was dissolved in 1539, the manor of Winslow passed to the Crown, and was eventually sold to Sir John Fortescue of Salden.
Winslow's oldest surviving building is St Laurence Church, parts of which date from the 13th century. The church was much altered by Victorian restoration, but some medieval features survive, including wall-paintings.
Because Winslow belonged to a major abbey, it is very well documented. Detailed court books survive from the 1320s and include all the names of those who died in the Black Death in 1348-9. Wills are another important source of information. From the same court rolls, it is clear that Winslow, and the separate hamlet of Shipton, were cultivated according to the 'open-field' system, where each farmer had a number of strips dispersed in three common arable fields. The enclosure of the open fields of Shipton in 1745 and Winslow in 1767 meant that all the land which the farmers had cultivated in common was reallocated, and quick-set hedges were laid around the new allotments. The enclosure also led to the diversion of several old roads. Verney Road replaced Western Lane as the main road to Addington and the road from Swanbourne to Buckingham, which had bypassed the town, was blocked in order to divert traffic through Market Square. Furze Lane was created in order to give access to several small allotments of land to the west of the town. Farmhouses were built outside the town for the first time. Most of the arable land was turned into pasture, and the windmill ceased to function.
Winslow has a strong nonconformist tradition going back to the 17th century. The Baptist chapel now known as Keach's Chapel was built in 1695, and is one of the oldest such buildings in Bucks. A Congregational Church (now a private house) and Baptist Tabernacle were build in the 19th century, and the Salvation Army flourished briefly. The first endowed school was probably the Rogers Free School, set up by a will of 1722.
The old coach road from Aylesbury, which followed a Roman road from Quarrendon to Granborough and then headed for Buckingham via East Claydon, was diverted through Whitchurch and Winslow by the turnpike in 1745. This gave a boost to trade in the town, where the Banbury coach stopped at the Bell Inn (the foremost of the numerous pubs). Winslow was not a significant market, but it was the home of a number of wealthy professional men serving the gentry of the surrounding villages. During the 18th century, there were two or three doctors, several attorneys and more than one surveyor, all of them occupying large houses near to Market Square, as shown in a directory of 1798. There are also extensive fire insurance records from this period.
Winslow was the birthplace of William Lowndes, Secretary of the Treasury under William and Mary. His story is a piece of remarkable social mobility: as a younger son of an ordinary farming and innkeeping family, he was sent off to London, where his work as a civil servant and four marriages provided him with a fortune which enabled him to buy the lordship of the manor and much of the land. In 1700, William Lowndes bought several farmhouses in Sheep Street and demolished them all to provide a site for a new country house. Winslow Hall was designed for Lowndes by Sir Christopher Wren. It was built to the highest standards by craftsmen used to building fine houses and public buildings in London. The Lowndes family remained lords of the manor until the early 1900s. Redfield, a Victorian villa, was also built for the Selby Lowndes family but was later occupied by the Lambtons.
In 1834, the Poor Law Amendment Act brought about the sale of village poorhouses and their replacement by Union Workhouses in the larger towns. Winslow became the centre of a Union and a grim new Workhouse serving the town and neighbouring villages was built on Buckingham Road. A Board of Guardians was elected to run the Workhouse and the Rural Sanitary Authority was formed in 1872 as a sub-committee. The Sanitary Authority was replaced in 1894 by a Rural District Council, whose main legacy was the building of solid new houses to rent at Western Lane, Tinkers End, Demoram Close, Burleys Road, Missenden Road and Verney Road. These houses date from the 1920s to the 1950s when successive governments gave subsidies to local authorities to provide for general housing need and those displaced by slum clearance.
The northern part of Winslow developed in the Victorian period with the building of the Workhouse in 1838 and the laying out of a new road to the railway station in 1850. The railway brought no industry to the town (although small-scale industrial activities such as tanning continued), but it did provide a route to London for local dairy products. The railway also made Winslow accessible to the London sporting fraternity, several of whom kept 'hunting boxes' in the town. Winslow estate agents always described the larger houses as close to the railway station and convenient for the meets of the Whaddon Chase, Bicester and Duke of Grafton's Foxhounds. Many photographs of Winslow from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have survived (a lot of them by Winslow's own photographer J.H. Turnham).
The town's population rose from 1,100 at the beginning of the 19th century to 1,890 in 1861 (see the full transcription of the 1841 census), but then declined to 1,500 by the Second World War. An airfield was built at nearby Little Horwood during the war and several residents lost their lives in 1943 when a Wellington bomber crashed on the High Street. The town's railway station was closed to passengers in 1968 and the line was reduced to a single track in 1985.
Afterthe Second World War, the growth of private car ownership made small towns like Winslow attractive to commuters. The Elmfields Estate on the north side of the Aylesbury road was developed in the 1960s by the Metropolitan Railway Country Estates Company. The 1967 Winslow Plan set a population target of 5,000 and led to the development of the Magpie Estate to the north-east of the town. The houses and a new primary school were built beyond the line of a bypass, originally proposed by the County Council in 1935, but abandoned in the 1990s. Despite proposals to re-open the railway line to Milton Keynes and Oxford, the former railway station was developed for housing, also in the 1990s. A site for a new station has been allocated to the west of the Buckingham Road, where the land was designated as public open space under the 1967 plan.

Before the 1930's any discussion
of fabrics was a great deal simpler than today. Fabric was manufactured from
totally natural fibers, and although variations in the weaving and knitting
process produced a great number of different fabrics, all fabrics had certain
properties that are associated with natural fibers. Wool was warm, yet it
'breathes' and was excellent for winter work clothes. Cotton was cool, usually
soft and required a lot of ironing. Linen was very durable, had a natural
luster, and required even more ironing. Silk was both warm and soft, draped
superbly- and had to be laundered with care.
There are a multitude of weaves and patterns that can be done on a loom to create different weights, textures, and designs in fabric. We will discuss four of the most common ones in use in fabric manufacture:
